Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
5/10 Located in a modest urban setting, this ryokan skillfully blends traditional elements such as tatami mats and low furniture with a more modern and practical approach. The culinary experience is basic, and the baths, although present, lack the natural charm typical of onsen. A partial immersion in Japanese tradition.
